🚪 Evacuation Guide

Life-Saving Knowledge: These procedures are based on real emergency protocols that save lives.

🔥 Fire Evacuation

1. Immediate Response (0-15 seconds)

   Critical: Every second counts during fire emergencies

   • Stop all activity immediately
   • Listen for alarm type and announcements
   • Alert others who may not have heard
   • Move toward nearest exit (no elevators!)
2. Choose Your Route (15-30 seconds)

   Route Priority:

   1. Primary: Nearest designated exit
   2. Secondary: Next nearest if blocked
   3. Emergency: Any safe exit available

   Never attempt blocked or dangerous routes

3. Move Efficiently (30 seconds - 3 minutes)

   • Walk quickly but don’t run
   • Stay right in hallways and stairwells
   • Help others without stopping traffic
   • Stay low if smoke is present
   • Test doors before opening (hot = find alternate)
4. Reach Safety (3-5 minutes)

   • Exit building completely
   • Move 150+ feet from building
   • Go to assembly point immediately
   • Find your group and report missing persons
